Bridget Riley — Red, Green, Blue and Yellow, Five Whites
Bridget Riley

Red, Green, Blue and Yellow, Five Whites

1983

A vibrant composition of bold, saturated stripes in red, green, blue, and yellow rhythmically punctuated by five intervals of white, showcasing Riley's mastery of optical and perceptual dynamics. The alternating bands of color create a pulsating visual energy, drawing the eye across the surface in a hypnotic, almost kinetic movement. True to Riley's Op Art practice, the precise arrangement of hues and tonal contrasts challenges the viewer's perception, making the static image appear to shimmer and vibrate with life.

gouache on paper
